AS400 – FTP transfer converts lower to upper case

Hi, Actually I transferred 10,000 lines of SQL scripts from Desktop to iSeries server.But when I try to ftp the notepad.txt file. All the lower case letters from notepad.txt file will be converted to upper case letters. Since Java is using these scripts from front end and its also case sensitive. So it creates a huge issue always. Do we have any solution to overcome this?
Thanks, P.Amutha

In general, FTP won't convert anything from lower-case to upper-case, so something else is going on. The only reason I can think of is that you have English uppercase DBCS (feature 2938) installed as a language, and that's being used for your transfers. In such circumstances, lower-case letters don't exist. But that's complete guesswork since I don't have a setup to test and I have never tried it.

Please show exactly how you make the transfers. Also show some of the text before the transfer and after the transfer. We need to see exactly what is happening. A description is not enough information for us for this problem.

Okay, those are fine. We still need to see examples of text before and after transfer. Show a text example that demonstrates a change in case. For the 'after' text, you'll to show output from DSPPFM that has some changed text in the window. And you should show it using F10='Display hexadecimal'.

By show hex along with the actual characters, it will eliminate another possibility.

That is why we need to see actual examples rather than seeing only descriptions of what happens. If you discover that it is still happening, make sure you can capture the example. Run the same sequence over again and store before and after copies of the data. It's necessary to have an example that can be examined to avoid multiple guesses. -- Tom
